Create date directory
I need to get a text file listing of file names and creation dates for a
folder. Basically, I want to be able to do something like DIR X.TXT but have the dates be the creation dates rather than the modified dates. I find that I can open the folder and, after selecting Views - Details, I can then select Views - Choose Columns and get what I want, but I can't find any way, from there, to get a text file of the resultant listing. I thought I remembered a way to print these things (other than by graphics capture and printing that), but after looking around, I'm guessing it wasn't Windows I'm remembering it from. Any ideas? - Bill |

Any ideas? - Bill Easy with freeware (personal use) file manager called TrackerV3 (now up to version 4). View -Show Columns. Select files or folders you require, right click, Info to Clipboard -Selected Rows. Paste from clipboard into your favourite text program. www.trackerv3.com A very versatile, multi-tabbed file manager. I have been using it for a couple of years and still find treasures. -- Adam and Eve - the worlds happiest couple ever. Neither had a mother-in-law. |

I'd hoped I'd overlooked a way to do it with standard utilities. But this looks like it'll do the job. Thanks. - Bill |
